Projects include public services and programs that promote the rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing and an improved quality of life for residents and their communities.

Applicants must be a nonprofit or government agency that meets eligibility of the Code of Federal Regulations. Proposals should align with Ramsey County’s Economic Competitiveness & Inclusion Plan and the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan (PDF).

Goals

  • Provide decent housing.
  • Create suitable living environments.
  • Expand economic opportunities, primarily for persons of low and moderate income.

Community Development Priorities Survey for Consolidated Plan

Every 5 years, Ramsey County is required to draft a Consolidated Plan that lays out its priorities and goals for using CDBG. CDBG funding may be used for housing, community and economic development initiatives and programs across the suburban county. The Suburban Ramsey County’s Community Development Priorities Survey is designed for residents to provide input on what topics matter the most to them, and where they would like to see funds prioritized. The survey opens for public comment on Oct. 16 and closes in Dec.
